With this model, Mayo has made progress in studies that use electrical stimulation to address paralysis and investigate stem cells for use in medical care. It supports the NIH All of Us Research Program aimed at advancing individualized care, helps understand disease where it starts at the level of the cell, and examine the role of senescent cells in aging and diseases of aging.

If you are a human who ages, or one who would like to see better treatments for disease, consider adding the Mayo Model of Research to your gift list today.

It’s an easy one to give: Tell someone you love how research at Mayo is helping save lives, or share stories about Mayo Clinic research that you find on this blog, Discovery’s Edge or other Mayo Clinic sources like Facebook or Twitter. That's it. A share here, a retweet there and you're done.

It could help someone in your social network now, and it will help patients in the future.
